6.3.2 Selecting a Riding Mode
Refer to the table in 6.3.1 Riding Modes Reference Table.
You can operate your Gocycle in different modes to suit your personal riding style. The motor
assistance will start and stop at different speeds—you can control this by either rotating the left
selector A “wrist-down” or rider pedal input, or a combination of both. See below for more
information. To view current mode of operation: Rotate and hold selectors A and B “wrist-down”.
The current mode of operation will show on the dashboard display (C). To select operation mode:
Rotate and hold selectors A and B “wrist-down” until all LEDs flash and the operation mode shows
on the dashboard display (C). Rotate selector B “wrist down” repeatedly until you reach your desired
mode (C). To save the mode, rotate selector A “wrist down” until LEDs flash and then release the
button.
WARNING! Do not attempt to change a riding mode whilst in motion. Attempting to change the mode
whilst riding will severely impair rider concentration and will dramatically increase the chance of an
accident, which may result in injury to the rider or even death.
6.3.2.1 City Mode
City mode utilises your Gocycle’s torque sensor, with the motor assistance level controlled by rider
pedal input. (Hard pedalling = high motor assistance, soft pedalling = less motor assistance).
In this mode, within the motor operating speed and whilst the rider is providing pedal input, the
motor will start automatically and will continue to operate until the maximum speed is reached.
For maximum motor assistance, rotate “wrist down” selector A.
Above the maximum motor speed, the motor will stop. There is no need to rotate “wrist down”
selector A. When the pedals cease to rotate or with reduced pedal input, the motor will stop.
WARNING! The motor will continue to operate while the rider exerts pedal effort and is travelling
within the motor operating speed. To stop the motor, cease pedalling, or reduce pedal effort.

Eco mode operates in the same manner as City mode, but the rider must pedal harder to gain
assistance. Use this mode if you wish to conserve your battery and increase your range.
